The city
What to expect from Koblenz.
Koblenz began as a Roman camp at the confluence of the Mosela and the Reno, and its name comes from the Latin Confluentes. The point between the two rivers is the Deutsches Eck, with the equestrian monument to Emperor Guilherme I. On the other side of the Reno, the Prussian fortress of Ehrenbreitstein is reached by a cable car that crosses the river. The old town brings together the basílica de São Castor, the Liebfrauenkirche and squares such as the Jesuitenplatz. Upstream begins the romantic valley of the Reno, a World Heritage Site, with o castelo de Stolzenfels and the Marksburg a few kilometers away. German is spoken.
